Kearney is located on Interstate 35 Highway just north of Kansas City, Missouri.
The Kearney area is alive with historical significance. The James farm where Jesse James was buried was in the limelight during 1995. Forensic experts exhumed Jesse's body and used genetic testing to prove that Jesse was the person buried in the grave.Also nearby is the Watkins Woolen Mill, a 3-story century-and-a-half old textile factory featuring America's only one with the original machinery still intact. Included on the plantation grounds are the Watkin's family home, church (pictured above), octagonal school, and other buildings and an adjacent 1000-acre state park.
